we're building the future of health care

Doing what's right for Hawai‘i

our mission

The Hawai‘i Primary Care Association improves the health of communities in need by advocating for, expanding access to, and sustaining high quality health care through our statewide network of Community Health Centers.

For over twenty years, the Hawai‘i Primary Care Association has been working on behalf of vulnerable populations throughout our state, and helping to establish access to primary health care services for everyone. HPCA has developed strong, productive partnerships with providers, health care organizations, lawmakers, policy officials, and public advocates to improve quality and access for nearly 150,000 people.

We believe in nurturing vibrant and healthy communities that work together, and are committed to the partnerships, innovation, and teamwork that will transform our health care system and improve the lives of all Hawai‘i’s people.

health care for all

We remain committed to the cause of health care access for all and believe a strong primary care infrastructure, particularly for underserved and vulnerable populations, is essential for our island communities. We are focused on issues related to developing and sustaining that infrastructure, and preparing Community Health Centers for the future.
